I was watching Netflix on my hp envy 15t-ae100 with an i7 processor when all of a sudden it made a loud static noise through the speakers (even though I had headphones plugged in) and shut down. It will now rarely turn on and if it does it only stays on for a minute or so. It seems to work slightly better when it is low on battery. I took it to geek squad and they said it was overheating and the fan wasn't working. I do believe it has a virus, but it also has some sort of other issue with the hardware (other than the fan). Any ideas? Please help

It seems like the fan is either shot which is allowing the computer to overheat or cause issues. I'd say order a exhaust fan for your specific laptop and than just go to a local computer shop and have them install it for you for little to none, unless you would like to do it yourself.

Exhaust fans can range in price, but really can't go over $20 so your in luck in that department.

As for the virus - It does not have anything to do with a hardware failing, sure the time might be ironic but that can be set up for another time.
Assuming after you repair the fan and everything is working fine, I'd run SAS (SuperAntiSpyware) to do a deep clean. It's free and well known. I'd throw MalwareBytes in too however don't think you'll need it.
